ALLIED HEALTH
Bachelor of
Technical and Professional Studies in Allied Health
The Bachelor
of Technical/Professional Studies in Allied Health is a
recognized bachelor’s degree program designed to facilitate
maximum transfer of academic credit for associate degree
graduates from a variety of health and health-related programs.
Frequently, when someone graduates from an associate degree allied health program and enters a baccalaureate degree program, all or most of their health discipline-specific courses do not apply to the baccalaureate program. This is not the case with the Allied Health program since most or all of the health discipline-specific courses, up to 64 semester hours of transfer credit, do transfer to the bachelor's degree program. Students may also be able to transfer in other applicable coursework that has been taken at other 4-year institutions, for a combined total of 90 credits.
WHY MAJOR IN ALLIED HEALTH?
The Allied Health Program is designed to

clinical backgrounds and prepares them to assume additional
responsibilities through advanced learning in health care
administration and management, organization and funding, ethical
and professional issues, and research findings that affect best
practice. Graduates are better positioned for promotions,
movement into related positions, or job expansion.
